    Don't share your app ideas anymore, at least if you haven't made any money from them.

    Nowadays, creating an app only takes days, not weeks or months. Don’t take others’ advice that “the tweet about your idea is the first MVP.” Anyone with ten times your followers can casually create the app in few days, earn quick money and leave you with nothing.

    Built an iOS app to save iCloud storage by compressing videos—feedback welcome!

    Hey r/AppIdeas! I’m Alejandro, and I recently created HEVCut, an iOS app designed to help users manage their iCloud storage by compressing video files without losing quality. As a digital nomad, I was constantly running into storage issues on my iPhone, and I didn’t want to pay for more iCloud space or delete precious memories. So, I built a solution!

    What HEVCut Does:

    •	**One-tap compression**: Reduce video file sizes by up to 50% while maintaining high quality.
    
    •	**Save space**: Free up iCloud storage without losing important files.
    
    •	**Easy to use**: No complex settings—just choose a video and hit compress.

    Why I Built It:

    I built this app while traveling in Bali with no prior experience in app development, using AI tools to help along the way. My goal was to solve my own problem, and now I hope it can help others who deal with similar issues.

    Looking for Feedback:

    I’d love to hear any suggestions or ideas for:

    •	Features to add or improve
    
    •	Ways to promote the app and get the word out (without a big ad budget)
    
    •	Thoughts on the user experience and interface

    Thanks in advance for your feedback! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Afterposts (A new social media app idea)

    Hey everyone, new to reddit so just wanted to post my app idea here to see if it sounds alright or just to see if similar apps already exist. Thank you

    I'm excited to share an app concept that brings a fresh twist to social media. It’s called Afterposts, and it’s all about collaboration, creativity, and building connections. Imagine a place where you can start a unique post, and your friends add their own spin to it—creating a shared experience that everyone can join in on.

    Here’s how it works: When you post on Afterposts, you’re not just sharing a moment. You’re starting something that your friends can add to, whether it’s capturing a similar vibe, a theme, or a memory. Each friend can build on your post with their own photos or videos, creating a whole collection of responses that keeps growing.

    The cool part? Every time a friend adds to your post, they get the likes and comments from others—not you. This isn’t about racking up engagement for the original poster. It’s about encouraging everyone to participate and feel recognized, building on each other’s creativity to make a richer, more connected experience.

    Think of it like Be Reel, POV, and Instagram all rolled into one app.

    Afterposts is all about turning social media into a collaborative experience. Unlike traditional platforms where posts are all about individual likes and shares, here, you’re part of something shared. Whether it’s a fun moment, a challenge, or a theme, everyone contributes and receives their own engagement—keeping things fun, inclusive, and interactive.

    And it’s not just about posting—Afterposts makes sure interactions stay positive. The original creator sets the tone by providing suggested themes, tags, and even compliments that others can use, so every interaction is supportive and meaningful. Imagine a social media platform where everyone is encouraged to be kind and creative for each other.

    And here’s a fun part: imagine your favorite celebrity posts on Afterposts. You can respond with your own version of their post, adding to their original idea! It’s a unique way for fans to connect with influencers and public figures, sharing their own creative take on a theme. It’s like an interactive fan club, where you’re encouraged to join in and participate.

    But what if you want a little privacy? On Afterposts, you control who can respond to your posts. You can make it open to all your friends, keep it exclusive to a select few, or even invite specific people to contribute to your post. That way, you get to shape the experience and decide who gets involved in the conversation.

    You can only comment on an afterpost if you yourself add to someone’s chain. You need to do an afterpost to interact with everyone else. Get to talking to people your friend is also friends with. This keeps comments supportive and makes sure that every interaction feels good. Plus, if you like someone’s afterpost, you can recommend it to others, encouraging more people to add their own spin to the thread. It’s all about creating a chain of creativity and connection. You can also scroll and see your friend’s afterposts for the people you don’t follow but they do. This way, you can see other people you may want to follow to comment on, but you can still like their posts.

    Afterposts is more than just scrolling and liking. It’s interactive, encouraging people to be creative and get involved. Unlike traditional platforms where engagement is centered on the original post, Afterposts celebrates the additions that everyone brings. So, whether you’re posting for fun, responding to a friend, or joining a celebrity’s thread, Afterposts makes it all about community and collaboration.

    Afterposts comes with five main features:

    A Home Screen to see posts from friends, so you can quickly jump in and add your own spin. A Discovery section with public posts where you can explore and engage, but you need to participate to leave comments. A Camera feature to take photos or videos with editing options, making it easy to create unique content. Private Groups where you can start closed conversations, so only selected friends see your posts and add their responses. And finally, a Profile page where you showcase the posts you’ve created and the collaborations you’re part of. Here’s where I need your help to make Afterposts a reality. Developing this app takes time, resources, and a team of dedicated people. I’m looking for support in three main areas:

    Community Feedback – I want to hear from you! What features would you like to see? Drop your thoughts in the comments below. Funding and Investors – If you’re excited about this idea and want to be part of something new, consider supporting Afterposts. Every bit of funding helps us bring this concept to life. Spreading the Word – If this sounds like something you’d love to use, share this video, tell your friends, and let’s build the Afterposts community together. Let’s make social media about connection and creativity. Imagine a place where every post starts a chain of positivity and shared experiences!

    How Do You Validate a New App Idea with No Prior Customers or Contacts?

    Hey Redditors,

    I'm working on SaaS product and I'm starting from scratch with no existing customer base or contacts.

    I'd love to hear your strategies and tips on how to validate and acquire those first customers. What worked for you? Any advice for someone in my position? Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom!

    Update: thanks for all the advice, I just want to share also with you guys, a good resource I found about this topic in this blog post: How to validate app ideas

    BlockParty, a social app-blocking app is looking for developers

    BlockParty, which is a new experience that brings the world together to get off their phone, is looking for more developers to help in its creation. Its still being developed and very much in the ideation phase— so no rules broken here

    The idea: once a day at a random time a notification is sent to all the users and they compete to leave the app open for as long as possible

    The current developer is working with Typescript and Swift and wants to speed up the process so we can launch by the new year. Anyone that is experienced with either of those, comment below or send me a DM

    Would you use an AI assistant to help craft better Reddit replies on mobile?

    Hey, I've been thinking about a problem many of us face: wanting to contribute meaningfully to discussions but being held back by how tedious it is to type long replies on mobile.

    The Problem:

    • Typing thoughtful responses on phones is time-consuming
    • Often end up just upvoting instead of adding to the discussion
    • Good conversations die because people don't want to thumb-type paragraphs
    • Jumping between other apps like ChatGPT and Reddit is annoying

    Proposed Solution: An AI assistant app that helps craft replies while YOU remain in control:

    • Suggests responses based on conversation context
    • You can quickly dictate your thoughts instead of typing. The AI will then convert it into a meaningful reply.
    • Every reply requires YOUR review and approval before posting
    • NOT a bot - you maintain full control over what's actually posted
    • Helps maintain your natural voice while making it easier to participate

    To be clear: this isn't about automating responses or creating bots. Think of it more like a smart keyboard that helps you express your thoughts more efficiently on mobile and reply directly on Reddit.

    What do you think? Would this help you participate more in discussions you care about? What features would you want to see?

    SSTV Camera

    SSTV Is a way to send an image over radio as soundswaves. There are apps already in existence that encode photos for SSTV. The apps generate a .wav file.

    There also apps in existence ro decode these files. In essence you play the .wav file and any device with decoding software close enough to hear the .wav file will decode and save the image.

    My idea is a camera app which supports SSTV automatically encoding photos as the are taken and producing and saving an SSTV compatible .wav

    Unfortunately I am not a developer. If anyone would like to take the project on.

    AI Tour Guide App: Need Your Input

    I'm working on an AI-powered travel app that aims to change the way we explore cities. It will act like having local guides during your whole trip. Here's the basic idea:

    Core Features:

    • AI Avatars: Multiple AI personalities, like a food enthusiast or history buff, to provide tailored recommendations.
    • Interactive Itineraries: Create and share personalized itineraries with friends.
    • Practical Tools: Currency conversion, translation, and cost-sharing features.
    • Exploration Tracking: Monitor your city exploration progress and see where other users are exploring.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions:

    • Are there any features you'd like to see added?
    • What challenges do you face when traveling that an app like this could solve?
    • Any specific AI interactions or personalization ideas?

    What are some good tools for doing app research?

    Hi guys

    I know many tools exist for researching website data

    Are there any tools for doing research of apps? Like their approx revenue, year of conception, installs, reviews and other metrics all under one roof?

    I have some app ideas but for validation, detailed research is necessary.

    Thanks

    Tiktok/Youtube style content creation but for writing

    A platform that allows people to make money from writing small to medium bits of content. Some kind marketplace for small bits of writing content. Basically X but for discussing topics and ideas instead of arguing politics. Or Reddit but with the ability to monetize.

    App that will work based on a list and will automatically force stop apps and delete all the permissions and then return them on according to a certain time.

    I'm kind of hoping that one of you guys will actually tell me, hey, you're dumbass because this already exists. That would be even better, but I haven't found such an app, so if it doesn't exist, I think it's a great idea for someone to make. The purpose of the app is to give us more control on starting and stopping apps that we don't want on all the time and sucking up our data. The reality is a lot of apps require a lot of permissions and they require to always be on in the background. You either choose to allow it to always be in the background or you don't use the app at all. This app is kind of like a middle ground and compromise which will allow you to use the app but also for stop it when you don't want to use it.

    All in one video game achievement tracker?

    Hi there! I want to preface this by saying I'm not fully sure if this is the exact spot to post this but I do think it's relevant enough to try! I read the rules and will make sure I stick to them! I've been playing a lot of games in my free time and I like going for achievements, looking at stats etc.i know things like trueachievements/psnprofiles exists and to some extent the actual platforms themselves keep statistics but I had an idea for an all in one app that:

    Keeps track of xbox, playstation, and steam achievements together

    Separates the base game 100% completion from dlc

    Has tags or filters that show up on games (not genres) with specific achievement types like "speedrun, permadeath, unobtainable, etc."

    Shows the minimum number of completions required

    An ai companion that could help you keep track of the achievement you are going for as well as statistics. If you're trying for a speedrun time, maybe it will log the times of the level/chapter/segment you just completed so you can compare them.

    I have so much more but this is the general gist.. I know console specific things like this exist but why isn't there a way to have everything in one spot? This is probably coming off as a high idea so if it's been mentioned too much I will happily take this post down! Sorry for all the text.

    Spectrum Analyzer app to measure the frequency in humans

    I know there are spectrum apps out there, but I can't find one that could measure in MHz the frequency of a human. Hooking up an SDR and some sort of antenna to place on the skln to take readings and process them on the app.

    A chat app for soccer pickup organizers, coaches, anybody organizing soccer events

    Hey there! I been thinking of an app idea for a while now. This idea came to me as I was organizing a soccer pickup game with my friends. I usually have a whatsapp group chat with all my friends. I organize the game using a event app called Luma and then I share the link in the whats app chat, sometimes I get lazy just do it in apple notes but that actually is more work since I have to be on top of which of my friends are coming and update my list on the notes app. I was like there's gotta be a better way to do this, something that can handle all of this. I'm a designer so I immediately went into Figma and started designing some initial mockups. I also went on some research on some competitors, theres apps that just handle event organizing and others who just focus on finding pickup games near you, but nothing that organizes something between just your group of friends. I think this can be a great tool, I'm on 5 different soccer chats myself, I play 3 times a week. As I was working on this, more ideas came to me. maybe I can include fun features like organizing polls on what time to do the games, maybe a lineup feature where you can create a lineup within the app and place it on the chat (this can be helpful for coaches), and also fun ones like maybe people can vote on who was the player of the match and can record themselves with a player of the match trophy (AR feature). I dropped some of my initial mockups here. I think this app has potential.Any devs here would love the vision, feel free to DM me!

    What are you building right now? Let’s share!

    Hey fellow creators! 👋

    I'm constantly amazed by the innovative projects this community brings to life—from clever solutions to grand, ambitious ideas. The talent and passion here are truly inspiring, and I can't wait to hear about what you're all working on.

    At the moment, I'm developing YouTube Mind Map—a tool that generates mind maps from YouTube videos: https://youtube-mindmap.vercel.app

    The aim is to simplify learning and note-taking by converting video content into visual diagrams. I'm working on refining the prompt the tool uses and would really appreciate your feedback to make it better. My plan is to make the model open source so it can be free for everyone, with server costs covered by donations to keep it accessible to all. 🧠⚡️

    Share your projects below! Maybe we can exchange feedback, share insights, or help each other brainstorm. 🙌

    Can't wait to see what everyone's up to! ✌️

    Seeking advice and stories: how do you tackle early lead-gen challenges?

    Hey everyone,

    As a marketer for early-stage startups, I've found myself stuck in the same spot from one project to the next. When I needed to understand why my tactics to attract first leads weren’t working, it often felt like I was on my own. From podcasts to competitive intelligence tools, so much advice is focused on scaling established companies—and finding actionable metrics for brand-new projects felt impossible.

    That’s why I started thinking about how valuable it would be for first-time founders and growth marketers to have a place to share real, 0-to-1 stories. I believe that by learning from each other’s first steps and challenges, we could all grow faster and avoid some of the common pitfalls in early lead generation.

    So I’m here with two goals:

    1. To find folks who might want to test this concept of a community-driven resource for early lead generation.
    2. To connect with marketers and founders who have already cracked the code on finding those first leads and might be open to sharing their insights.

    If you’ve ever asked yourself questions like: “Why aren’t my website visitors converting into leads?”, “Why do my social posts have no reach?”, “Why isn’t my outreach getting responses?”

    …you’re probably facing the same challenges I was! If you’d like to explore or contribute to a resource around these early-stage hurdles, drop a comment or DM me. I’d love to hear your experiences or tell you more about what I’m working on. Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their stories or wants to collaborate.

    I'll be sharing the link in the comms.

    Make busy guys - romantics again (but with AI).

    Hey everyone! I’m a venture analyst and manager, usually focused on investments and product analytics, but I’m ready to try founding myself. With LaunchCamp at my fund accepting applications for 6 more days, it feels like the perfect time to find a co-founder. If you’re interested, connect with me on Telegram (I’ll link at the end).

    Summary of idea: This app would help guys who genuinely want to be thoughtful but struggle with time, creativity, or just getting a little lost in their routines. The app would offer a quick, flexible way to jot down notes when your partner mentions something special—like “she wants to go to the theater and stay in a hotel.” It keeps these notes on hand, and if needed, the AI can help plan a great date, even factoring in your budget or time constraints.

    Not summary of idea:

    The App Idea: AI-Powered Support for Busy Relationships

    The idea is simple but personal. It’s an AI tool for guys who, for whatever reason—busy schedules, lack of inspiration, or just being overwhelmed—struggle to keep up with thoughtful gestures in their relationships, even though they truly want to. I know it’s a common issue because, honestly, I’ve faced it myself. I’ve tried different ways to address it over the years, but sometimes I lacked time, sometimes creativity, and sometimes both.

    How It Works: Flexible Notes and Smart Suggestions

    The app would offer a flexible note-taking feature where users could quickly jot down things their partner mentions—like “she wants to go to the theater and stay in a hotel afterward.” These notes are the foundation: they help users remember important details even when life is busy.

    From there, the app would step in: if you want a little help organizing something special, the AI can take your notes and provide customized suggestions for the perfect date based on your current situation. For example, if you’re tight on budget, it might suggest a more budget-friendly outing. Short on time? It’ll suggest something low-effort but meaningful. When you don’t need help, it simply serves as a reminder.

    Adding Extra Value: Relationship Tips and Proactive Reminders

    In addition to date ideas, we could add an “advice” section where users could come with questions or common relationship concerns. While GPT already covers some of this, the current experience isn’t as proactive or user-friendly as it could be. Our app could take it further by sending gentle reminders or helpful nudges—so users won’t forget their plans or lose track of their romantic intentions.

    my tg: whyalwaysfelix

    I believe this could be a viral, go-to-market concept (feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!). If anyone wants to join forces and build this with me, I’d love to hear from you.

    Just an example of how it can help

    I’m working on a tool to help validate business ideas by uncovering real customer pain points

    Hi everyone! 👋

    I've been developing a tool that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses validate their ideas by analysing real customer pain points. The concept is simple: you type in your business idea or industry, and our tool scrapes data from across the web (forums, social media, review sites) to find the most common pain points people are experiencing. It then ranks these issues so you can quickly identify what matters most to your target audience.

    The goal is to help you answer questions like:

    • What are the main challenges people face in this industry?
    • Are there specific problems customers consistently talk about?
    • How can I shape my idea to better meet real needs?

    The tool is especially geared towards those who want to avoid the time-consuming process of customer interviews or surveys. By using real online conversations and reviews, we aim to provide insights fast, so you can build solutions with confidence.

    Here’s where I’d love your help:

    1. Does this sound useful to you if you’re thinking about launching a new product or service?
    2. Are there any specific features or data points you’d want to see in a tool like this?
    3. If you've validated an idea before, what challenges did you face that a tool like this could have helped with?

    I’m really looking forward to any feedback you have! I want to make sure this tool genuinely addresses the needs of entrepreneurs, so any input or suggestions are super valuable. 🙏

    Thanks in advance, and feel free to ask me any questions!

    Product Recommendations App (RECPICK)

    Hello everyone,

    I had an idea for an app that recommends products to users based on natural language (eg. I want an item to heat my bed - it would recommend products such as Eight Sleep)

    It would mix AI with product reviews from multiple sites and rank them in a list that shows the pros and cons along with the prices on different sites.

    I have made a website to get feedback/ideas and see if you would be interested!

    https://recpick.info/ -> there's a form there if you could fill it in I would really appreciate it!!
